For young kids, just be sure to let them know that those Superman, and Bat man pajamas, do not enable them to actually fly! But seriously, that is something you would have to decide, again dependent on room, and use. They are safer, as a single, versus, stacked, but the rails, prevent rolling out of bed, but if there is a problem with sleep walking,,. could be a problem. But if you are uncomfortable with stacked, just make them twins, with the option of stacking, for more room. I would think if they are doing double duty for kids and or guest, single, and not stacked with out the rails,would be the way to go, but kids love stacked bunk beds. So just decide what the intended use is, and how much room you have, if you have kids, how well they understand the danger of playing in stacked bunk beds. Of course there is always the argument of who gets to sleep in the top bunk.
